Pleasure and Profit.

Few stop to think how
much real pleasure may be
derived from a stroll through
an extensive clothing estab-
ishment. where every ar
rangement has been made
for the display of beautiful
garments, representing the
highest work of art in tailor
ing. For years it has been
our aim to entertain our GUS
toners by placing on exhi-
bitiop only Goods of Exqui-
site Design and Substantial
fabric, thus affording buyers
of good taste an opportunity
to combine pleasures with
profit in making their selec-

source of great satisfaction
to us to know that while our
prices have always been the
lowest in the city, we have
never sold an inferior gar
ment. We guarantee every
article sold. 1t is through
such honorable means the

He was a determined man and very PEE
nurious. He died at an advanced age.
On his death bed he kept his right
hand closely clutched. AS he drew his
last breath he frightened his hold.
Everybody knew what he held. 1t

kept his gold. AS his nerveless hand

if to hold it even after his soul had
passed away. the miser had tied the
key about his wrist by strong cord
and had grasped it as long as life re-
manned. He had wanted to take his
gold with him. They buried him as he
was, with the key to the money chest
dangling about his wrist, and to-day
the key is in his grave. turning to rust

FRANCIS BACON.
History OF the Man Who. According
to Some, Wrote Shakespeare's
Works.

History OF the Man Who. According
to Some, Wrote Shakespeare,s
Works.
Francis Bacon was born in 1861. He.
was thus Shakespeare's senior BY three
years. His father was Lord Keeper Of
the Great Seal an eminent scholar,
patron of art aud literature. The
mothers of great men have often been.
remarked upon, and Bacon's was en-
ienently worthy of her dist nguished
son; an estimable lady, pious, shrewd,,
affectionate and, in the best sense of
that age, accomplished learned among
learned women, capable authoress,
yet mot herly among mothers. Bacon
was the son OF old age; precocious, but
not ephemerally so,. for his genius
went on expanding through all his life.
His imagination, differing from that Of
many other men, deepened, heightened,
widened with his years. He had ample
access in his fathers home to, books.
A student of Cambridge at the age of
twelve, he was at sixteen wiser than his
teachers. In 1876 he entered Gray's
Inn on his legal career. Next yearshe
was sent to Paris as one of the suite of
Sir Amias Paulet. the English Ambassa-.
dor. He Travelled on the continent with
the French court, and became familiar
with French, italian and Spanish. On
his return to England he bore a. dis
patch to; the Queen from the Ambassa-
dor, IN which he is referred to in. the
most fattering terms. In his, twenty
fourth year he entered Parliament. and
soon exercised a remarkable ascendan--
cy. The author of many beneficial
measures, he was at all times the. chos--
en- representative of the Commons. I'M
their conflicts with the Peers and the
Grown. His wisdom, patriotism, and
eloquence were conspicuous. Careful
of the interests Of the people, he. was
at the same time loyal in his allegiance
to the Crown. His powers of persna-
sion were uniformly employed in fur
thering and reconciling the welfare Of
all concerned. Johnson bears tribute
to his eloquence. There happened. z
he says, .in my time one noble. speak
en-, who was full Of gravity in. his
speaking. His language, where he
could spare or pass By jest, was nobly
censorious. No man ever spoke more
neatly, more weightily. or suffered less
emptiness, less idleness In what he, Mt
tered. No member of his speech but
consisted of his own graces. His hear
ers could not cough or look aside, from
him without loss He, commanded
when he spoke. and had his judges an-
cry or pleased at his devotion. No
man had their affections more in his.
power. The fear OF every man who
heard him was that he should make
an end. - Nineteenth Century. S.

THE oRlENTAL HAREM.


/
/ ned1sm.
One of the conditions upon which a
4 woman enters the harem is that she
give up all family ties and connec-
tions with the outside world. While
polygamy is permitted in Turkey, not
more than five per cent. Of his Maj
esty's Moslem subjects have harems.
General Wallace depicted in a humor-
Gus vein the curiosity of American
women to visit the hare ms. The Y al
ways have great desire to see the
/ poor creatures at home. and to devise
some means to raise them from their
degraded condition. After visit many
of these ladies change their minds
about the fearful fate of the Turkish
women. The Turkish ladies assemble
in common reception room richly
furnished. They are attended by a.
throng OF slaves, white and black, whol
do their every bidding. The mistresses,
of these harems wear costumes which
the speaker, after apologizing for his
deficiency on the subject of feminine
apparel, undertook to describe Their
clothing is of the richest material. OF
the general intelligence. of these women
sheir American sisters who have seen
them do not speak in fostering terms..
The conversation between the Turkish
women and their visitors nearly always
runs about this way.

1t is the general opinion that ladies
OF the harem are prisoners. .Ehis is
merely delusion. Every Tarkish
woman has her own quarters and herr
own slaves to- wait upon her. She.
can take a ride whenever she wishes,
and she wears what she pleases with
out interference. The Turkish head
dress is. with due Difference to the
styles of Paris and New York, the
MOST becoming ef.any in the world. 1t

American women, the most beautiful l.
have ever seen. Glimpses of them

that there is no home-}ife among the
Turks Laying aside, the tie of hus-
band and wife, there remains that al
most as dear-parent and child. The
residents of the harem, which means
sacred or secret place, are passionately
devoted to their children, upon whom
they can shower all the tenderness of a
nature.-F From q Lecture 5u

She is always interesting, generally has

cases out of ten she has little girl to

does things, as matter of course, that
the young unmarried ladies are forbid

mothers have q hard time explaining to
the daughters why what is right for the
widow is wrong for them. The moth
ers take revenge very often by misrep.
resenting the widow and telling the
daughters to have nothing to do with
her. But the widow has . good time

carved. The floor Of the lobby is OF

is of polished mahogany, as are also the
window sashes. The walls are of pol
ished italian marble with
paneling of Vienna mar

Mexican onyx, polished until it looks
like jewel. The furniture of the wait

carving. Mrs. Stephens room is requi-
site in set of furniture of cherry and
satinwood which cost $40, 900. Tho en-
bellishments of the different rooms are
said to be beyond description. The pal
ace built BY Mr.. Mcintyre is equal in
every way to that of Mr.. Stephen. and

more than either, These are the three
